Alex de Minaur is in line to join some of Australia's modern-day greats as a multiple Newcombe Medallist at tennis's night of nights in Melbourne.
De Minaur is favoured to be crowned Australian tennis's most outstanding performer of the year on Monday night after soaring to the cusp of the world's top 10 in 2023.
The 24-year-old reached a career-high No.11 in October, collected his seventh ATP Tour title in Acapulco, made four finals and helped Australia to a second straight Davis Cup decider in Spain.
